Dear London Socialist Historians Group,
I am writing for your support - I am crowdfunding the production of a graphic novel telling the story of my great-grandfathers life in the first half of the twentieth century. He was German Communist Historian who had to flee Nazi Germany. He was involved in the November Revolution of Germany in 1918, a founding member of the Spartacus League, leading member of the Rote Frontkämpferbund and Chief of Staff for one of the International Brigades in Spain. His daughter came to England as a refugee before World War II where she remained, becoming a Labour Councillor in Harlow New Town until her death in 1998.
Although a personal research project his life touches on themes that I think are very relevant to contemporary politics and social history.
Funding for the campaign is going well and been mostly promoted through my own networks on Twitter and Facebook. However, I am hoping now to expand this to other interest groups. This is where I hope you can help.
I was wondering whether you would be able to share this campaign with your membership and/or support the campaign by tweeting or posting on Facebook a link to the campaign itself.
More information on the campaign can be found on Kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cole007/finding-albert-illustrating-a-family-story
I have also have created a short, shareable URL for the project at http://bit.ly/findingalbert
Additionally, I have prepared some pictures and promotional material which can be downloaded from Dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t2d4cktv183h1xi/AAChHd3fHR-s16gWBNhr8d5ha?dl=0
I look forward to hearing from you and hope you can help in some small way to promoting and supporting the project.
With all best wishes,
Cole Henley
